Continuous Assessment

The continuous assessment consists of the following activities:

A. Theoretical exam, 30% of the final grade.

B. Video essay, 20% of the final grade.

C. Practical exercises assigned in the seminars, 50% of the final grade.

The final grade of the continuous assessment will result from the weighted sum of the points obtained in the different procedures. However, no average will be made if the practical part and the theoretical part of the course have a grade lower than 5. That is to say, it is necessary to have the average of the practical part and the theoretical part with a grade minimum of 5 in order to be able to obtain the corresponding weighted sum of the continuous assessment.

 

Reassessment

The students must meet the following two criteria to be able to present themselves for the reassessment/resit.

a. The students will have the right to reassessment if they have been evaluated on the set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of 2/3 parts of the total grade of the subject.

b. The students who have participated in the continuous assessment and fail the theoretical test and/or the video essay (theoretical part) will be able to participate in the reassessment as long as they have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 in each activity and have carried out the ordinary review.

The practical exercises assigned in the seminars are excluded from the reassessment process (the competences and skills not acquired throughout the course can hardly be achieved in a couple of weeks).

Even if the students achieve a grade higher than 7 in the reassessment activity, their maximum grade in that activity will be a 7.

 

Unique Assessment

A. Theoretical exam, 40% ofthe final grade. It must be approved (5 or more) to be able to pass the course subject (indispensable condition). The exam model will be totally different from that of the continuous assessment.

B. Delivery of a 5-minute video essay, together with a justifying report, 30% of the final grade.

C. Delivery of a 5-minute narrative sound podcast, together with an explanatory report, 30% of the final grade.

 

Resit of the Unique Assessment

The students must meet the following criteria to present themselves for reassessment:

a) According to the regulations, in order to participate in the reassessment process, the students must have been previously evaluated on at least 2/3 of the total activities of the subject.

b) The theoretical written exam may only be resat if the student has obtained a mark below 5. The reassessment will consist of a written examination designed to evaluate theoretical knowledge.

c) The video essay cannot be reassessed and the grade obtained (whether passed or failed) will be part of the weighted average of the final grade.

d) The narrative sound podcast cannot be reassessed and the grade obtained (whether passed or failed) will be part of the weighted average of the final grade.

Even if the students achieve a grade higher than 5 in the reassessment activity, their maximum grade in that activity will be a 5.

 

Second enrollment

In the case of a second enrollment, students may take a single synthesis exam, which will consist of an individual written test with both theoretical and practical questions. The final grade for the course will correspond to the grade obtained in the synthesis exam. 

 

Not assessable

In this course, a student will be graded as not assessable if they do not attend or complete any of the scheduled assessment activities on the dates indicated in the course calendar, without a duly justified reason (such as illness with a medical certificate, the death of a close family member, a court summons, or other similar situations properlydocumented).

 

Plagiarism

In the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that could be instructed. In the event, that several irregularities occur in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0.

 

Artificial Intelligence

For this course, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, proofreading, or drafting texts that will later be edited and improved by the student. The use of AI-generated audio and video isalso allowed in non-significant parts ofaudiovisual projects, such as visual or sound transitions, decorative elements, or representations of situations that would bedifficult to record without advanced audiovisual resources. These materials must not replace the main content or the student’s analytical contributions, and students must ensure they hold the rights to use them and comply with current intellectual property regulations. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this graded activity will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a partial or total penalty in the grade, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
